Breakfast of Champi-Moms! Breakfast Re-defined

SHARE:

Breakfast. The most important meal of the day. And yet, ironically, it happens during the most hectic, rushed, frenzied hours of the morning. Kids awake, wanting to play and needing to be fed. Overnight emails awaiting response. Bed head begging to be tamed. And breakfast… you know you need to eat it. You know you need to feed your family.

How many of you are preparing a sit-down, balanced meal? How often do you grab a bar and a coffee or pour bowls of cereal swimming in skim milk?

We’ll share our secret: we go to bed looking forward to that morning meal, and we never skip it. Every day we enjoy a healthy, filling, hassle-free breakfast. Eating breakfast kick starts our metabolism, energizes us to power through the day and always tastes great.

Here are our top 5 breakfasts ready in under 5 mins. They are perfect for you or your whole family. They are great on the go or seated at your kitchen table. All they require is a little prep and your fridge will be stocked for a week of wholesome ways to start your day!

Check out our blog and instagram for more simple strategies and recipes from breakfast through dessert. From five minute flapjacks to overnight oats and sweet gluten free seed bread, you’ll never be unprepared for breakfast again!

Chia Pudding – Oh, the mighty little Chia! We would shout our love for you from the rooftops. Don’t be fooled by their tiny size and lack of flavor. These little seeds pack a powerful nutritional punch. They are a rich source of Omega 3s, antioxidants, protein containing all essential amino acids, calcium and iron. Shake them up in your favorite milk (we like almond or coconut) with some vanilla and maple syrup and you have a decadent tasting breakfast that will keep you full until lunch. We fill several mason jars with Chia Pudding and keep them in the fridge for grab and go breakfasts, guilt-free dessert and anytime snacks. Adding some cacao powder makes this a chocolatey treat that is low in sugar and high in antioxidants!

Combine ingredients in a large bowl or jar. Shake or whisk well and let rest for 5 mins. Whisk again and pour evenly into 4 mason jars. Cover the jars and refrigerate overnight for for several hours until pudding is formed! These last for up to a week in your fridge, so make a bunch for a healthy breakfast or snack at the ready. Top with your favorite flavors, grab and go!

Avocado and Egg Wrap – EMBODY Wellness Company’s on the go take on the ever trendy avocado toast! Eggs and Avocados are two of Mother Nature’s greatest gifts. Protein, fiber, choline, vitamins and minerals – they are truly super foods. Put them together and what do you get? A nutritional match made in heaven. Smash a half of an avocado onto an Ezekial Tortilla Wrap. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and a dash of cayenne. We add a sprinkle of chia and flax seeds too! Top with two eggs cooked your favorite way: scrambled, over easy or hard boiled (make a dozen in advance to always have them ready!), roll it up and go. If you want to get extra jazzy, add in a few tbsp salsa, some spinach leaves and shredded, organic cheese, then roll and enjoy!

Anti-Inflammatory Banana Muffins – These muffins are delicious and way too nutritious. We created them to sneak superfoods into our kids diets, and we keep making them because they’ve become a family favorite. And the best part, they take no time to make and they last in the fridge for longer than it takes to gobble them all up. Turmeric, cinnamon and a slew of superfoods make these baked goods almost too healthy to be true. Bake up a batch today and feel the benefits!

Green Smoothie- We definitely didn’t invent this one, but we can’t deny the ease, deliciousness and nutritional efficiency of a well executed smoothie. We make this a stress free way to start the day by helping our clients create “smoothie packs” to use through the week. Wash, chop and divide your ingredients into sealable baggies or containers and keep them in the fridge. Then, when you are ready to drink up, just dump one into your blender, add liquid, ice, blend and enjoy. Make sure you include a handful or two of leafy greens in your mix! To increase the protein content (think: full for longer, energy, fuel) try adding a tbsp or 2 of almond butter or protein powder. Don’t forget to add our favorite trio of superfoods: chia, flax and hemp seeds for an extra nutrients, healthy fats and proteins and antioxidants!

Mediterranean Frittatas – Muffin, meet egg. Egg, meet muffin. Make a few dozen of our mini veggie filled frittatas and keep them in your fridge. Heat them up or eat them cold as you rush out the door. They make lovely appetizers when entertaining and great additions to any brunch buffet. But best of all, our kids and husbands love them too! Add in any veggies or flavor combos you like. Use our recipe as inspiration!
